When Gu Qingzhou heard Erzai's voice, he didn't bother to pick up his third brother and quickened his pace into the yard.
After seeing the four cubs, he stood there in a daze.
"…Second child?"
The boy's face was filled with shock.
How did his skinny little boy become a fair and tender city kid? !
Hengbao was very close to his uncle and rushed forward to hug Gu Qingzhou. When he heard his uncle address him, he seriously corrected him, "Uncle, I'm not Erzai. I'm Gu Zhiheng now. You can call me Hengbao."
Yubao said, "My name is Gu Zhiyu, you can call me Yubao, it's the name that grandpa gave us."
He sighed quietly and couldn't help frowning, "My uncle hasn't been home for a long time and missed a lot of important events at home."
Tiechui felt very sorry, "We ate a lot of meat, but my uncle didn't get to eat any. What a pity."
Gu Qingzhou: “???”
Seeing his uncle in a daze, Yubao looked worried. He stood on tiptoe and waved his hands in front of his uncle. "Uncle? Uncle? Why don't you say anything? Don't you recognize us?!"
Gu Qingzhou pulled down his hand, which was plump and soft, and he squeezed it subconsciously.
"Big..." Thinking of the fact that all the kids at home had changed their names, he followed suit and changed his name, "Yubao, you guys have gained weight, I can hardly recognize you!"
Yubao curled his eyes happily, holding his face, the flesh on his cheeks was squeezed together, "Yes, we are fat, we eat a lot of meat, we can eat a lot every day, so we will definitely get fat."
She looked at Gu Qingzhou with bright eyes.
"Your uncle isn't fat, is he not getting enough to eat?" He was very worried, "Is your uncle reluctant to give you meat?"
Gu Qingzhou shook his head, "No, there is no meat at my uncle's house."
Hengbao interrupted, using a child's boasting tone, "My uncle has meat at home. My uncle is very good to us. He treats us to ice cream and meat, and gives us gifts. He gave me and my brother a cat radio, which can listen to stories and songs..."
Gu Qingzhou was stunned. "Radio?"
"Yes, it's the radio. I'll go get it!" Hengbao went back to the house to get the radio and ran out quickly.
Gu Qingzhou caught a glimpse of the strange-looking thing and looked puzzled.
His tone was also full of doubt, "Is this a radio?"
He is educated, don't try to fool him, how can a radio look like this? !
Yubao turned on the switch, and a clear and melodious voice came out, and it was the time for the weather forecast to be broadcast.
"…A new week has begun, let's take a look at this week's weather. Right now it's…"
Gu Qingzhou was very curious, "There is such a radio, I have never seen it before!"
He felt a little sad. Was it really because his cultural level was not high enough?
Third brother was right about his disdain; junior high school students were really nothing.
Yubao explained, "This cat radio is different from the ones sold outside. My uncle found parts and made it for us. My uncle is a very good technician and he knows everything."
Hengbao opened his bright eyes wide, "My uncle is the best!"
Gu Qingzhou knew what the twins wanted to hear, and a faint smile appeared on his dark and thin face, "Your uncle is really willing to spend money on you."
The two brothers were very satisfied.
Mother Gu was overjoyed when her eldest son came back. But when she saw that he had become thinner and wasn't as energetic as the people at home, she felt bad and hurried into the kitchen to bring out the meal reserved for the third and fourth sons.
"Third brother, fourth brother, let's talk after you finish eating. I've left some food for you."
Lin Zhao instructed the twins, "Yu Bao and Heng Bao, make a bowl of hawthorn water for your father and uncle."
"Hey!" The twins worked quickly. Gu Lan was afraid that his younger brothers couldn't reach the things, so he followed them quietly.
Gu Chenghuai splashed water to wash his face. His handsome face was wet and his cuffs were also stained with water.
He was a young and old-fashioned man. The most revealing thing he would wear outside was a military green vest. Most of the time, he would wear a military green shirt. He stood there with his back straight, as firm as a bamboo or a pine tree.
He was also feeling hot, so he unbuttoned two buttons on his collar, revealing his Adam's apple.
Lin Zhao stood up and walked over to roll up the man's sleeves.
The strong arms were exposed in front of his eyes, with blue veins running through them.
Gu Chenghuai looked at Lin Zhao's face intently, and a hint of surprise appeared in his words, "What hawthorn water?"
Lin Zhao looked at him and smiled softly. "Your son picked hawthorns from the mountain and said they were sour, so I made them into hawthorn jam. Hawthorn juice is the water mixed with hawthorn jam. It's sour and sweet and tastes very good."
"Thank you for your hard work." said Gu Chenghuai.
He has no requirements for food and drink, as long as he can fill his stomach. Hawthorn jam and the like sound very troublesome, and only his wife has this idea.
Lin Zhao asked about what Gu Chenghuai had done this morning, "Have you found out about the situation of my two nephews?"
Gu Chenghuai said calmly, "I've inquired about it. I'll call and ask again tomorrow."
"Will I go with you tomorrow?" Lin Zhao looked at him and asked if it was convenient.
"Okay." Gu Chenghuai replied gently.
Mother Gu called out loudly, "Chenghuai, Qingzhou, come and eat, we have bacon today."
Gu Qingzhou hadn't eaten meat for a while and was very craving for it. He rushed over and saw so much meat in the bowl. His eyes danced with joy.
"So much meat!"
Mother Gu said, "Your third sister-in-law gave it to me. She said that when you come back, she will give you a good meal."
"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law." Gu Qingzhou was moved.
He quietly asked the eldest and second sons, and heard that the third sister-in-law was treating them very well now, and he was very happy for them.
The boy was surprised that his third sister-in-law would be willing to give him meat.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "We have taken over your house and left you homeless. We must treat you well as the owner of the house."
Qingzhou didn't expect that the third sister-in-law who never smiled before would be able to joke. He was stunned for a moment and said, "As for the owner of the house, it was originally your house. I got my own house after you moved out, so you can stay as long as you want. Don't be polite to me."
"As long as I have a place to stay, that's fine."
He is not picky about where to live, he can just take a mat and lie in the yard, it's still cool.
You mean mosquitoes? Haha, there are mosquitoes everywhere, and there are many mosquitoes in the house.
Mother Gu said, "You live in your sister's room."
"Where's Gu Xing'er?" Gu Qingzhou said with a surprised look on his face while eating from rice.
"...She has a place." Gu's mother was vague. She didn't want to talk about her little girl. She would get angry and annoyed when she did.
"oh."
Gu Qingzhou didn't ask much. He and Gu Xing'er were not familiar with each other and they didn't get along very well. He was too lazy to care what happened to her.
The boy's dark eyes sparkled as he ate the spicy meat rice happily.
"Mom, spicy pork rice is delicious."
Mother Gu looked at her old son with heartache.
Xingye said loudly, "Uncle, you came back late. We had chicken and chicken soup before. Oh, and there was also pickled fish. Aunt San taught my mother to make it. It goes well with rice."
Huang Xiulan: "It goes well with rice. Everyone in the family can eat an extra half bowl of rice."
She was so heartbroken that she couldn't sleep.
Gu Qingzhou kept swallowing his saliva.
He sighed, "Ah, I didn't catch up."
Lin Zhao was amused. "What's the big deal? If you want to eat it, I'll make it tomorrow. Ask your third brother to change a chicken tomorrow morning."
Before anyone else could say anything, Hengbao's eyes lit up and he asked expectantly, "Mom, are we having chicken tomorrow?"
"Blabber your father and ask him to buy a chicken." The chicken at home lays one egg a day, and my mother-in-law is reluctant to kill it.
Hengbao went to pester Gu Chenghuai, "Dad?"
"Change." Gu Chenghuai agreed and picked up a piece of bacon to feed him.
Hengbao never thinks that he has too much meat and eats it all with a smile on his face.
He also didn't forget his brother, "Dad, and brother, give my brother a bite."
Gu Chenghuai glared at him coldly, "Your mind is full of your brother. Why don't you think about your father when you have something good to offer?"
Hengbao chuckled and gave his father a back massage.
"Dad, let me give you a back massage."
The little fists fell on Gu Chenghuai's back again and again.
The man who never smiles has a smile in his eyes.
The other three cubs also rushed forward, and the two younger ones followed their example.
Yaobao pinched her father's arm and found it was hard, like a rock, and she couldn't move it at all. The little girl's pretty eyes showed a puzzled expression, and she said in a baby voice, "Shishi, don't move."
Gu Chenghuai had taken care of his daughter for a few days and could understand her childish words, which meant that his arms were as hard as rocks and the baby couldn't squeeze them.
His eyebrows were clear, and his hand that was used to touching the gun rubbed the top of Yaobao's head. His voice was low and gentle, "Be good, go play."
Yaobao found it boring and went to play with Sister Yuer obediently.
Yu Bao was still thinking about what his mother said. While patting Gu Chenghuai's shoulders, he asked, "Dad, Mom said she would take us to the provincial capital?"
Gu Chenghuai looked towards Lin Zhao, met his wife's smiling eyes, and immediately softened.
"Yes." He said, "Your mother's birthday is coming up soon, and I'm taking her there. You guys are taking advantage of me. Your mother couldn't bear to leave you behind, so she insisted on taking you with her."
Yu Bao paused, staring at his father's overly handsome face, and said in an accusing tone, "Dad, you didn't want to take us?"
Gu Chenghuai raised his eyes, "Otherwise, it's your mother's birthday, why should I take you guys? It's troublesome."
With four children, most of my attention has to be focused on them, which is definitely not as comfortable as living in a world of just two people.
If Zhao Zhao wants to take it, that’s another matter.
When it comes to household affairs, all of Captain Gu’s principles revolve around his wife.
Yubao's cheeks puffed up.
He is a generous child and doesn't bother with his hateful father.
She argued, "Hengbao and I are very capable and can help mom carry things."
Gu Chenghuai raised his eyebrows, "You two are carrying things, what else do you want me to do?"
Yubao choked, his eyes burning with flames, and he said reluctantly, "I can also help Dad carry it."
"No need." Gu Chenghuai teased his son deliberately. Looking at Yubao's angry but speechless face, he felt that the eldest son was very energetic at the moment.
Hengbao pulled back his hand, pulled his brother, ran to Lin Zhao, rubbed her back, and complained angrily, "Mom, please take care of Dad. Dad bullies other kids and he doesn't want to take care of us!"
Lin Zhao felt the slight force on his shoulder and chuckled, "I have the final say in our family."
The little fool has been led into a ditch!
That’s right, dad’s words don’t count, mom’s words count!
The two brothers were all smiles.
Heng Bao became even more arrogant, with his hands on his hips, "Dad, Mommy take us!!"
Gu Chenghuai ignored him.
Mosquitoes were buzzing under the tree, and Lin Zhao could not stand it anymore. She remembered the insect repellent herbs given by her fourth brother, went back to the house to get some scraps of cloth, and started sewing sachets.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Yubao came over and asked.
"Make some mosquito repellent sachets. When I'm done, carry them with you and the mosquitoes will stay away from you!" Lin Zhao was very confident in the herbs given by her fourth brother.
It really works.
She kept the herbs in the house and finally slept well last night.
Yubao opened his eyes wide.
Noticing the stunned eyes of the little kid, Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Why are your eyes so wide open? Haven't you seen mosquito repellent bags before?"
"It's different." Yubao gestured, "I didn't know I could do it myself."
Lin Zhao's smile deepened. "No matter what it is, it's all done by people."
"Mom is so awesome." The light in Yubao's eyes is still so bright. In the heart of a five-year-old child, mom is the most awesome.
Lin Zhao was very skillful in doing any job. She could sew a mosquito repellent sachet in just a few minutes and hang it on the recliner.
The twins didn't ask for it. In their opinion, since their mother had worked so hard to make the baby, the first one should be kept for them.
The two little brothers just rested their chins on their hands and watched, not going to play, they just wanted to keep the company.
"Why don't you listen to the radio?" Lin Zhao said.
"I like watching my mother work." Yubao has a mother-brain, and his mother is always in his eyes and heart.
Lin Zhao's expression softened. "But I want to listen to the radio."
Hearing this, Yu BMW went to get the radio. With a few flicks of his fingers, a familiar storytelling voice rang out.
Gu Qingzhou was extremely curious about the radio. He held his bowl close to listen, his eyes shining.
He is good-looking, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He is about 1.78 meters tall, with a short waist and long legs. His body proportions are very good, and he looks tall and thin. Because he doesn't get much sun, his skin is fair and he is very handsome.
I heard that he is very popular in school, and some little girls even come up to him and ask him to be their son-in-law, with their family helping to find a job for them.
These were all rumors and no one confirmed them to him.
Gu's mother approached Gu Chenghuai and asked quietly, "Third and fourth sons, what do you think? Is he still going to high school?"
Gu Chenghuai nodded, "Study until you graduate from high school."
"That's good, that's good." Gu's mother was extremely happy. She and his father both hoped that their eldest son would be able to study until high school. Just look at the third son's wife and you'll know that studying is very useful.
Thinking of the mess in school, she became worried again. "I don't know when school will be able to return to normal. It's really worrying."
"It will be soon." Gu Chenghuai said. It has been going on for several months and it is time for the higher-ups to issue some documents.
Mother Gu has always been confident in San'er, so she was not so anxious anymore.
It would be good to be able to resume classes.
-
That night.
Gu Chenghuai walked towards the foot of the mountain without anyone noticing, just like he did last night.
Hand the things sent by the Lin family to Meng Jiusi.
"Fourth brother, these are all things prepared by your parents for you."
Meng Jiusi took it and felt that the thing in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
He had never received love from his parents since he could remember. This was the first time that he felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
"Zhao Zhao has sent a lot more. Please tell my parents that I have everything I need and ask them not to worry about it anymore and just take care of themselves."
Although they have a special status, the team will not ignore their lives, and they will be given food when they work. He did a rough calculation and found that the food they got was enough for him and his grandfather to eat.
"Okay." Gu Chenghuai agreed.
She also conveyed Lin Zhao's intention, "Zhao Zhao said that if you have nothing to do, you can dry the herbs and she will sell them to the county hospital later."
Meng Jiusi became serious and asked, "It's okay to dry the herbs, but will it affect Zhao Zhao?"
He didn't have much money in his pocket, so it would be great if he could exchange it for money. At least he wouldn't have to keep asking his family for money.
"No need, the county hospital already accepts medicinal materials." Gu Chenghuai said.
There is a shortage of everything now, including food, meat, cloth, and of course medicine.
"Okay, I'll dry it." Meng Jiusi felt that life had purpose.
Gu Chenghuai took out a few more medical books, "Zhao Zhao found some medical books from the recycling station and said he would help you to relieve your boredom."
Meng Jiusi loves Chinese medicine and has been studying it diligently. He was ecstatic when he got the medical book and found it very useful after flipping through it.
He said happily, "Thank Zhao Zhao for me. With these medical books, the days here won't be so long."
Gu Chenghuai looked relaxed.
"There is one more thing. I have asked my comrades to find out the news about Jing Mo and Guang Bai. There will be news tomorrow. I will come to tell you as soon as I have the news."
Meng Jiusi was very worried about his two sons. When he heard his brother-in-law say that they would get the news tomorrow, his fingers trembled with excitement.
It was rare for him to have the desire to speak.
"I was taken away suddenly. The two children must have been terrified. I don't know if their mother comforted them well. My father-in-law's family is not easy to get along with. I hope they are okay..."
He didn't want his son to live the same life as before, which was not realistic. He just hoped that they would have enough food and clothing and not be affected by their identity.
